The Trakdot luggage tracking device can be placed in any checked bag and will alert the user by reporting city and airport location in real time to any cellular telephone via text or e-mail.

After traveling in "airplane mode" in flight, upon landing, the luggage locator system automatically transmits city-specific information on the whereabouts of checked baggage. Even if the Trakdot-protected bag does not reach the desired destination, passengers will still have the assurance of knowing the location of the luggage.
